A popular fast-food chain is giving fans a new reason to hit the drive-thru this summer.

Its classic frozen treat is getting a bold refresh—actually, three of them.

From nostalgic flavors to rich, chocolatey blends, the new creations are putting a fresh spin on a fan favorite.



Since it debuted in the late 1960s, the Frosty has remained a menu mainstay.

Created by founder Dave Thomas, it was designed to be thick enough for a spoon, smooth enough for a straw, and subtle enough not to overpower Wendy’s burgers.

Over the years, Wendy’s added seasonal flavors—Strawberry, Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint, and more—but Frosty Fusions are a first.

These next-level treats swirl in rich sauces and crunchy mix-ins, creating a full-on textured experience.


Wendy’s fans won’t have to wait long—all three flavors drop nationwide on May 12.

Each one starts with a Vanilla or Chocolate Frosty base, with layered additions for flavor and crunch.

1. Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion
This one’s a throwback to your favorite toaster breakfast. It features strawberry sauce and bits of Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers. If you ever had dessert for breakfast as a kid—this is it, frozen.


2. OREO Brownie Frosty Fusion
Crushed OREOs meet brownie batter sauce in a chocolate-heavy swirl. It’s a sweet tooth’s dream and perfect for those who like their desserts rich.


3. Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion
Caramel sauce and crunchy toffee pieces turn this into a buttery-sweet indulgence. Balanced, bold, and very scoop-worthy.


The Frosty has been around for over 50 years—one of just five items on Wendy’s original menu.

It’s stood the test of time because it’s simple, satisfying, and easy to customize.

These new Fusions take that same base and add texture, depth, and surprise to every bite.

Wendy’s has built up quite a Frosty legacy over the years. Past limited-edition flavors include:

• Strawberry
• Pumpkin Spice

Frosty Fusions mark a new chapter—mix-ins, sauces, and combinations designed for every kind of dessert lover.



Whether you’re spooning or sipping, there’s no wrong way to enjoy one. But here are a few fan-tested suggestions:

• Let it melt slightly for peak creaminess.
• Pair it with fries for a sweet-and-salty combo.
• Take it on the road—it’s the perfect summer treat for a drive.
• Try all three flavors—you never know which one will win you over.
